Chronic Pharyngitis

Chronic Pharyngitis

Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Epistaxis

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Summary

Rhinophyma, a rare nasal skin condition, was effectively treated using a combination of dermabrasion, decortication, and fibrin glue. This surgical approach resulted in complete healing in all observed cases.

Area of Science:

Dermatology
Plastic Surgery

Background:

Rhinophyma is a rare, benign skin disease affecting the nose, historically considered the third stage of rosacea.
First described by Ferdinando Hebra Von, its pathophysiology remains uncertain.

Purpose of the Study:

To report clinical experience with rhinophyma.
To propose and evaluate a novel treatment strategy for rhinophyma management.

Main Methods:

A retrospective case study was conducted.
The study analyzed 12 cases of rhinophyma over a 12-year period.
A consistent therapeutic approach was applied to all patients.

Main Results:

A marked male predominance was observed in the identified cases.
The treatment involved a combination of dermabrasion, decortication, and fibrin glue application.
All patients achieved a favorable outcome with complete epithelialization.

Conclusions:

Rhinophyma management is primarily surgical, with diverse techniques available.
The combined technique of dermabrasion, decortication, and fibrin glue yielded excellent results.
Further consensus on optimal surgical techniques is needed, but this method shows significant promise.
